Truly Outrageous!

OMG, the network Hub is going to start playing eps of Jem and the Holograms!  I loved that show!!  I have been wondering if Hub would start playing Jem since they play GI Joe, He-Man, She-Ra and other shows from that time.

I bought the DVDs years ago, but they never released the second half of the last season and then discontinued the other series so the DVDs were crazy expensive to buy used on Amazon.  I hope they eventually release the last episodes. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves Jem and the Holograms.

    Love Jem. Well, actually, I liked the Misfits. (Their songs are better, after all.)

    I wasn't a Misfits fan back in the day, but I can appreciate them now. 

    Here's an EW article that suggests Jem would not stand the test of time: http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/04/28/jem-is-back-on-the-hub/

    It's written by a Jem fan, but I beg to differ!  I think they hold up pretty well, and the fashions would actually fit right in with the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, et al.

    I adore Jem....and I may or may not own the DVDs and one of the dolls.  I even have the play light up earrings that were relased when I was little and somewhere there is a video of me rocking out in pink hot pants, the earrings, a pink wig, with a sparkly microphone singing my little 4 year old heart out.

    I was almost Jem for an 80's party earlier this year. I love her make-up and I wish I would have done it but I didn't find the right outfit in time, and I figured no one would go all out like I wanted to. I was right, the people there sucked at dressing 80's.

    I'm always afraid with those type of theme parties that people won't get as into it as I do.  Usually if its the party I'm throwing I'm happy to go all out cause its fine if the host is a tad crazy.

    I know Pokemon because I have younger siblings.  Damn those cards used to get expensive or hard to track down.  In Canada did you have areas of game stores just devoted to them?  We actually had an entire store at the mall just for Pokemon cards and other stuff.

    I heard it was because Rhino sold the rights of a bundle of shows like GI Joe and Jem to another company (maybe Sony) before they were able to release that last bit, and Jem was not the priority so they never released it.  You'd think that once they saw people selling the DVDs for $100 on up on Amazon and eBay they'd realize people wanted to see them.

    I guess they finally got their act together.  Hub is also playing My Little Pony episodes and some other old cartoons I didn't catch because I was too busy squeeing over Jem.

    I love my little pony.....I have those DVDs as well.  Actually old shows H and I have purchased on DVD (we say for our future kids but really its for us):

    Original strawberry shortcake movies and episodes
    Carebears first and second movie
    My little pony movie and seasons 1 and 2
    Rainbow Brite movie and TV seasons
    GI Joe
    Jem
    Gummibears

    I'm sure there are others that I'm not thinking of.
